After 2.5 years of development, newest member of the DRAGONFLY range has been announced, the DRAGONFLY 36 Performance Cruiser.
The World Premiere of the NEW DRAGONFLY 36 will be at BOOT Düsseldorf 2025.
The DRAGONFLY 36 is designed for comfortable cruising in the fast lane. It sets new standards in terms of comfort, performance, practicality, and ease of handling—even with a short-handed crew or single-handed. The DRAGONFLY 36 will be available in two versions, both with carbon masts: the TOURING version with a self-tacking jib, and the PERFORMANCE version with an even taller rig and a larger overlapping furling headsail.
Kevin Wallis, the Managing Director of Dragonfly Trimarans Australia & New Zealand, said that both versions feature our wave-piercing float design. The distinctive reverse bow is now extended to the centre hull for the first time, creating a brand-new main hull design that provides safe and comfortable upright sailing, with more buoyancy in the bow.
In addition, the DRAGONFLY 36 has a fixed bowsprit for easy use of downwind sails and anchoring.
The large dual-zone cockpit has comfortable seating forward, and all control lines are led aft to four electric winches by the twin helm wheels.
Below deck, the new DRAGONFLY 36 interior design includes forward and aft double cabins, a separate head, a modern galley, and a spacious dinette to host family and friends. The standard finish is in ash wood, with elm as an option.
The unique and revolutionary DRAGONFLY SWING WING system—introduced 35 years ago—reduces the 8.12 m beam to only 3.7 m in seconds, using no tools. The DRAGONFLY 36 introduces for the first time an all-composite high-tech construction, making the DRAGONFLY SWING WING system simpler, lighter, stronger, and easier to maintain.
